A. New I' rencli Word. —Wo believe ~ our French neighbors are generally adverse to the introduction of new words int6 their language, but we have just read one in a respectable scientific periodical, which, we think, deserves to be put on record. A description of a proposed new method of protecting uniufeated vines from tho attacks of phylloxera recommends that round each healthy vine a deep and narrow fosse should be dug and filled with sable fin ‘coal tar A’ ” One naturally reads tins extraordinary partciple “ coal-tare,” when its meaning seems rather obscure, and it really r i ec t u i 68 some little consideration to find out that the new word is actually derived from the English “ coal-tar,” We sincerely trust our neighbors will not enrich their language with many such English derivatives.—' Globe ’ Late Advertisements.
